Perplexity

Automate Advocate Management

Give Cascade a high-level goal, like onboarding a new partner. It uses the `register_advocate` tool to create their account in Genius Referrals, then follows up with `get_advocate_details` to confirm the registration was successful. There's no need to prompt each step. Cascade understands the sequence. You can also ask it to check on your top partners by chaining `list_top_performers` with `list_awarded_bonuses` to see who's driving results and what they've earned.

Run Campaigns with your Windsurf MCP Server

Get a full picture of your marketing efforts directly in your IDE. Ask Cascade to pull a report on active campaigns. It will use `list_referral_campaigns` to get the IDs and then loop over them with `get_campaign_details` for specifics. This MCP Server makes it easy to connect campaign performance to real outcomes. When a new sale comes in, Cascade can trigger `log_referral_conversion` to correctly attribute the new business. All without you touching another dashboard.

Oversee Payouts and Performance

Keep your advocates happy by staying on top of rewards. You can ask Cascade to “show me all pending payouts over $100.” It will fetch the data using `list_payout_requests` and filter it for you. It’s just as easy to get a snapshot of referral activity. The `list_tracked_referrals` tool gives you a raw feed of every click and signup. This lets you spot trends or debug tracking issues right from your editor.
